My Video Game Story
The Game Boy Color was my very first video game console/handheld. I remember the day well. It was Christmas day when I got it. I was around 5 years old at the time. My very first game was Super Mario Bros. I remember arguing with my little sister over whose game it was. I recall looking through my other presents after losing the argument and saw a box. I opened the box and there was a silver game that had the words Pokemon Silver Version written on it. I put the game in my new Game Boy Color and turned the little yellow handheld on. What followed was the start of my vieo game history.

I was blown away. I had never experienced anything of the like. The Game Freak logo flashed before my eyes and the game intro started up. The 8 bit music played as I saw small creatures appear on the screen. The music built up to its climax at the end, and an orange dragon Pokemon (Charizard) shot a fireball, which caused the screen to flash white. I saw the silhouette of a creature swimming through the water (Lugia).

Professor Oak asked me the time and I put the correct time in. He explained to me the basics of Pokemon and asked me my name. I put that in. I was suddenly transported to a town (New Bark Town) with nice music. I walked outside and saw a red-haired by peering through a window of Professor Elm's Lab. He kicked me away from where he was and I went to Elm after talking to everyone in town. My first pokemon was a Totodile, who I named Squirt.

I was young back then and didn't know how to save my progress, so when I turned it off, I always had to start over. I quickly learned how to save the game and started off with a Totodile. I named my rival, who was the red-haired boy, "Ax" for no specific reason.

But enough about Pokemon Silver. Now I shalll discuss more things. In 2nd Grade, I bought a Game Boy Advance with Pokemon Ruby Version as a gift. I bought and was given more games for my Game Boy Advance, which I thoroughly enjoyed. At a Thanksgiving family reunion, one of my younger cousins had a few games that I thought looked fun, which I bought for myself later.

The following year, for my ninth birthday, I was given a Nintendo 64 by my aunt. My first to games for the N64 that came with the console were "Super Mario 64" and "Mario Kart 64". The next day, my dad took me to Gamestop, where I bought several Nintendo 64 games for my new console. I loved my Nintendo 64.

During the Christmas of my 5th grade year, I was given a Nintendo DS. It was accidentally broken later, but was replaced shortly after with another black DS. The light on my current DS is weird and will only light up when its battery life is low.

For Christmas in sixth grade, I was given a Wii. My first games for it were "Wii Sports", "Super Paper Mario", and "Super Mario Galaxy". My grandma also gave me several Wii games that Christmas.

I later discovered that Gamecube games were compatible with the Wii. I started buying Gamecube games and more Nintendo DS games. Whenever I hear of a new game that sounds interesting, I research it first so I don't waste my money on junk.

So, there you have it, my video game history. I didn't give every little detail. If I had done that, it would be much longer. I hope you enjoyed this. Thank you for reading!
